1 - Intro
Asshe unlocks her fate, her destiny awaits . . .
Gazing at the sky, her azure blue eyes drifted with all sorts of emotion. From sadness, to happiness, to angriness to frustration, then back to no emotion at all. Today, it was dark and drafty. The clouds mixed together, a thunderstorm approaching. Not knowing where to go, she decided to go home.
As she walked along the trail, she notice a presence. It was a demon's scent. Sighing, she know she should be alert, but somehow, she doesn't care as she continued through the dark road. Turning the corner, she could feel the powerful presence following her. It was faint, but she could tell it was there. It was jumping from tree to tree just staring at her back.
Slowly, she turned her head to the tree, but at that instant, it disappeared. Tilting her head to the side, she let another sigh escape her lips, Now I'm annoyed. She shook her head and walked across the street. She passed through streets after streets and yet there was no sign that the demon would stop stalking her.
She slouched her shoulders and turned to the light pole, and that instant, a black blur could be seen zipping behind a building close to her. Slowly, she walked down towards the park. It was dark out and no one seems to be around except for the three thugs sitting on the bench.
"Hi ya there beauty." One called out to her.
"Hey, what's up." Was her lame reply as she kept her normal pace through the park's trail.
Suddenly she was jerked by the arm making her stop instantly, "You want to go have some fun with us? Cause ya seem to be lonely." He grinned at her. His voice was ragged and rough. The thugs seems to be in a gang somewhere, she's not sure how she knew that. It was either the smell of gunpowder on them or the scent of engine.
She just looked at the thug with boredom evident in her eyes. "Maybe later," she waved him off and continued on the long trail.
"Aw come on, just for tonight." The one that's a tad bit shorter than the other two grabbed onto her left shoulder. The three was right behind her and her eyes narrowed to dangerous slit.
When she was about to turn around and punch the guy and make a run for it, they were down on the ground, unconscious. She looked up at the person who knocked them out. Her eyes narrowed when she realized it was the demon that has been stalking her a few minutes ago.
The demon looks human, but he's far from it considering the huge dark aura around him. He was only a bit taller than her by an inch or so, has red ruby eyes, white bandanna covering his forehead, blacked spiked up hair, black trench coat, black leather pants, plain black shoes, light brown skin color, and his lips were in a thin emotionless line.
Instead of saying the obvious to him, she gave him a genuine smile. "Thanks, I'm Kagome Higurashi, and you?" She asked bowing a traditional Japanese bow.
"Hn." She notice he seems to be inspecting her. "Hiei."
Kagome smiled at him, "So, nice weather out, don't ya think?"
He watched her as she began to walk along the park's trail. He don't know why, but he was curious . . .he was curious who she is. Kagome Higurashi that was her name. So, he walked behind her as the girl started to ramble. He has been following her for awhile now, but doesn't know the reason why.
There was this spark the first time he saw her. It was an accidental look when she came out of her school. When he was on a mission, he caught a glimpse of her eyes, but she had never notice him. The only reason he's following her because he just so happen to caught sight of her when she was standing in front of a cemetery.
And now, they are walking in the park with her conversing with him. She was dressed in a simple jean, blue sweater over a white T-shirt, and hair in a low-ponytail.
"So, where do you live?" She looked at him through the side of her eyes. They were walking side by side through the dark park. She doesn't know who he is and yet, she is speaking to him as if they were friends. He wondered to himself, Is she this trusting?
His response to her was a simple 'hn.'
"I guess you're a mute then?" She giggled when he glared at her.
"No, I am not a mute and it isn't your business to know where I live." She gave him a confused look.
She scratched the back of her head. "Well, I live down at the sunset shrine, you want to go have some tea there?" She asked. He just 'hn', but inside, he was truly wondering if this girl is actually this . . .open to everyone.
Once they reached the end of the park, she walked a few blocks tot he left and came to a flight of stairs. "Come on, this is where I live." She smiled and started to walk up the staircase.
"You," he paused as she tilt her head towards him. "Live here alone?" Smiling, the girl nodded.
"Here, have some." She gave him a cup of warm tea. She wasn't sure, exactly why she would invite a demon to her home, but she figured it was the least she could do. Hiei did, after all, rescue her from the thugs. But Kagome has to admit, she can very well take care of herself with just hurting them and running away before they get back up.
As she took off her sweater, she sat down on the couch in front of him. "So Hiei, do you have a last name?" She asked trying to start up a conversation.
He just looked at her, "No."
Kagome raised her eyebrow in surprise, "Then," she furrowed her eyebrow, "Do you have a family?"
Reluctantly, he nodded slowly. "Just a sister."
She nodded again as she sipped her warm tea. Somehow, she doesn't know what else to do. It was strange enough to be talking to a demon, but asking him personal questions, now she knows she has become insane. Sighing, she looked at the tea. "So . . .What is your sister's name?"
"Yukina." Her eyebrow raised in mild surprise.
"I see, is she," Kagome hesitantly continued, "Also a demon?"
Hiei's eyes widen turning to look deep in her. His eyes were cold while, as he searched in hers, they were warm and calm. "How did you . . ."
"I noticed that you have been following me." She notice him cursing to himself. "It's not that you're bad at hiding your presence, but I'm used to feeling powerful demons such as yourself." She explained. "So, if you could kindly tell me, why have you been following me?" She asked straight out with her smile.
Hiei looked in her eyes, and somehow it seemed like he could be lost in those cerulean orbs. "I . . ." He trailed, "Was curious." He whispered silently.
Raising her eyebrow in surprise, she tilted her head in confusion. "Curious of what?"
Kagome blinked when she notice he was staring at her face, more importantly, her eyes. "I was curious of you."
Preview:
Her breath quicken as she felt the cold hard steel pressed against her neck. The sharpness of the blade was clear since she could feel warm liquid trailing down her neck. Gulping, she stayed rooted in her spot. Somehow, she finally knew never to listen to her conscious.
Kagome closed her eyes when she saw his sword raise up to the air. Knowing the gang leader would slice through her neck, she prayed silently for anyone to come and help her. When the impact of the sword never came to her in a few second, she slowly reopened her eyes.
Tilting her head, her eyes widen to a fraction of a size when she saw the gang leader's body on the cold floor, soaked in his own blood. "Kagome?"
